Azmina's POV:


When I heard movement from the cubicle, my eyes opened. My vision was blurred with tears and I couldn't figure out what was moving. 

Sunny was screaming and I leapt to my feet.

Emily was still lying there but her eyes had opened.

"Emily?!" I shout.

Emily gives me a small smile. "Well...." she croaks. "I guess I didn't stab the right spot."

I run to her and know that we didn't have much time before she would die from blood loss. She was covered in blood and her wound was still bleeding. 

"We need a nurse!" Juno shouts. "Is there even one in this place?!"

I turn around and sprint back to our room. I remember seeing a first aid kit inside. 

"Azmina!" Maeve says. "God you've been out forever, we heard screaming." Maeve widens her eyes. "YOU'RE COVERED IN BLOOD!"

"I think I know that!" I gasp. "Does anyone here know first aid?"

"I do," Phoebe says. "What happened?"

I grabbed the kit and pant, catching my breath to be able to run back to the bathroom.

"I don't have time to explain, just follow me and run!" I get up and sprint back to the cubicle. 

I see a boy in the hallway with light brown hair and blue eyes. He looks nice but I don't have time to chat him up. I need to help Emily. The boy looks at me with startled eyes as Phoebe and I run past him. I turn around and go into the bathroom, Phoebe and the random boy behind me.

"Hey!" Juno barks at him. "You're not allowed in here!"

"I just wanted to see what the fuss was abou- why is there so much blood?" he looks around and sees the trail of blood on the floor.

Phoebe shrieks as she sees Emily's body. 

"She's almost dead," Phoebe says, sweating very clearly.

"Who is?" The boy asks, rushing forwards.

The look of terror on his face confuses me. It's like he knows her. His eyes are wide and he screams. 

"EMILY?!" 

Emily lifts her head weakly as Phoebe begins to stem the blood flow.

"I'm sorry Charlie," she says.

"How do you know each other?!" Juno shouts.

Charlie runs over to her and grabs her arm. "Hey, you're not going to die on me are you?"

Emily smiles. "Sorry," she whispers. "I think I've lost too much blood to live. I can feel myself getting weaker and weaker. The wound is too deep."

I begin to cry and so does Charlie. "But the knife isn't even on the side of your chest that your heart is!" he says desperately. "The heart is slightly to the left, and your wound is on the right!"

Phoebe shakes her head. "It's too deep, I can't do anything."

Juno screams at the ceiling and Charlie lets out a heart breaking cry. 

"I'm sorry you guys," Emily croaks. "Just win this for me. You can do it. I believe in you."

I break down, sobbing. 

"No!" Charlie shouts. "No, you can't die! You promised me you'd see me again!"

Phoebe removes the knife from her chest and Emily smiles.

"Help her!" Juno howls. "Just stop the blood flow! PLEASE!" she begs Phoebe who is starting to cry.

"I can't!" Phoebe cries. "She's going to be dead in the next few seconds!"

Emily waves to us. "You were always amazing," she says, her eyes closing. "And I will take that with me all the way through into the afterlife."

Her eyes close and we all cry into her dead body.
